Great presentation, beautifully explained!

" Religions " really are the root of all evil.

Are we at risk by over using antibiotics, that we might be creating an evolutionary arms race that we will likely lose?

What if there isn't just one? Consider the extreme hierarchy with those at the top never in the public eye

39:14 All I can think of is a frog-like, psychedelic-laced version of Eric Cartman from "South Park", haha.

Presenter complains that geochemists should be taken more seriously by medical researches, then goes on to show why this happens. Seriously, the epidemiology towards the end was so amateurish it was embarrassing.

The audiences being confused with race in relation to species is funny. If you ever saw a chicken, you have brown, white, black, and red colored chickens but you wouldn’t classify each one as different species. Cows have different spot patterns and body colors but you wouldn’t classify each as different species. To us humans, it’s the same. You can be light, dark or brown. Curly, wavy or straight. We have different traits but it doesn’t mean that Euroean people are different to Asian people, in terms of species. Certain groups have distinct traits because of the gene pool available or preference. You’ll notice that human traits blends smoothly when you cross Europe to Asia Minor, to the Middle East, to South Asia, up to East Asia and so on and so forth.

ALL: This argument is still a false equivalency (statistical observation) because not all genetic composition is equal in impact. Humans differentiate from apes largely by extraordinary neotenic evolution. So it's pretty obvious that we WERE spectating but that the primary utility of neoteny and intelligence is extraordinary adaptation by mere changes in behavior in response to the conditions of the environment. So while most species are particular in reproduction, humans, especially human males will adapt to 'using anything with a hole' so to speak, which of course, resists speciation without geographic isolation. ;)

They died long ago. Only the strong survived.

Walpole House in Twickenham can be visited. I had a lovely guided tour in the evening.

BS like this is why I walked out of the first seminar I attended in the PhD program I was accepted into, thanked the professor, and went and withdrew from the program.

This makes my stomach turn. So many similarities with the US today. I hope we can learn from what happened in Iran and fast

There is a Telford bridge in the village of Bannockburn that still bears modern traffic on the old A 9 to this day. You wouldn't even know you were on a bridge while passing over it. You have to go down into Bannockburn park to see it. It's an amazing stone structure. a curving arch at the top and a reverse arch low down. Curving pillars each side create a large central circle through the stonework. The man was both a genius and an artist.

🐕 💊 that’s who

I'm glad he talked about the possibility of Bigfoot and Yedi in the beginning (first 7 minutes).

well said.. thank you! i wish i would have had you around while growing up. im 65 now. life had been confusing. school was hard, yet i love to learn!! i still deal with "life" through different eyes.. several abuses. strange how it all started within the home your raised. You have great understanding of how this world seems. Thank you!!! hugs

English have giraffe and hippopotames in medieval times! 😂😂😂😂

15:00, 😒

Thanks for the info!

It's not true that we share 98% of genes with apes. We share 98% only of encoding genes which represent 2% of our genome. You discarded 98% of our genes and called them junk DNA, but now scientiste have that the latter is not as junk as they once thought.

EVILLUTION

strange choice of topic for mr vaccine... la palma tsunamis hey..

If you don’t wanna give it then shut up

I understand enthousiasm and being nervous but lovely lady Hart, if you learn to breaaaathe and pause while talking, you sound less out of breath and your words come across better. Other than that, a very interesting talk which invites to dive deeper in the matter.

DNA refutes Robin Walker's lies: The Entwined African and Asian Genetic Roots of the Medieval Peoples of the Swahili Coast (Brielle et al. 2022) “The peoples of the Swahili coast of eastern Africa established a literate urban culture by the second millennium CE. They traded across eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean and were among the first sub-Saharan practitioners of Islam. An open question has been the extent to which these early interactions between Africans and non-Africans were accompanied by genetic admixture. We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 80 individuals in five medieval and early modern (1300-1800 CE) coastal towns, as well as people from an inland town postdating 1650 CE. Over half of the ancestry of most coastal individuals came from African ancestors; these African ancestors were primarily female. A slightly smaller proportion of ancestry was from Asia. This Asian component was approximately eighty to ninety percent from Near Eastern males and ten to twenty percent from Indian females. Peoples of African and Asian origins began to mix by around 1000 CE, a time when archaeological evidence documents changes on the coast that are often interpreted as marking the large-scale adoption of Islam. Before roughly 1500 CE, the Near Eastern ancestry detected in the individuals was mainly Persian-related, consistent with the narrative of the Kilwa Chronicle, the oldest history told by the Swahili themselves. After this time, the sources of Near Eastern ancestry became increasingly Arabian, consistent with the archaeological and historical evidence of growing interactions between the Swahili coast and parts of southern Arabia. Subsequent interactions of Swahili coast peoples with other Asian and African groups further changed the ancestry of present-day peoples relative to the ancient individuals we sequenced, highlighting how Swahili genetic legacies can be more clearly understood with ancient DNA. … A key finding of this study is genetic evidence of admixture at roughly 1000 CE between people of African and people of Persian ancestry. This admixture is consistent with one strand of the history recorded by the Swahili themselves, the Kilwa Chronicle, which describes the arrival of seven Shirazi (Persian) princes on the Swahili coast. At Kilwa, coin evidence has dated a ruler linked to that Shirazi dynasty, Ali bin al-Hasan, to the mid-11th century. Whether or not this history has a basis in an actual voyage, ancient DNA provides direct evidence for Persian-associated ancestry deriving overwhelmingly from males and arriving on the eastern African coast by about 1000 CE. This timing corresponds with archaeological evidence for a substantial cultural transformation along the coast, including the widespread adoption of Islam."

Mind wandering is watching this while also downloading sources for something I am researching on total solar eclipses, while also having to find out who the tallest group of people are in the world, then having to find out where the Dinaric Alps are, then having to find out the origin of the name Montenegro, because that guy you were in the Army with had the same name, then realizing one of your sources has the date 2000-12-1 instead of 2000-12-01, then remembering you never got a satisfactory answer as to the relationship between sickle cell anemia and sickle form macular whitening from viewing the eclipse, then you hear this guy break through talking about mind wandering.... I wonder what that's like.

ADHD is listening to this lecture while using ChatGPT to learn how to download videos off CZcams using Python code....

Once/if we become interstellar, that's when we'll start to have branching events.

Your claims and imaginings are not evidence of anything. You and other stuck imaginers are just wasting people's mental energy.

After all we've discovered about DNA and encoded cellular information, human evolution is still a viable theory? Are there any alternatives that don't rely on 19th century scientific conjecture?

Newton was the one. Even Einstein referred to him as a 'unique' individual.

can you get rid of the pulsing dot on the secondary screens?

Really Enjoyed that Lecture.......Many Thanks 🤘

I can see his European stamp from here. I can even tell his political persuasion. It's interesting he answers a question thinking he's being convincing

I am also glad that the 80 year old gentleman won't be a problem for his fellow humans for much longer.

I have a serious problem with this gentleman saying that Iranians wanted an Islamic state!!! That's about as wrong as it gets. Maybe he is or was one of them but that's a crass statement.

It's nice to hear a lecture in which a speaker doesn't try to convince us that the Anglo-Saxons were black, like it's being done with the Vikings. Allegedly, even the first people to inhabit Ireland were black pygmys! Orwell would have had few things to say about that, I'm sure.

Why did this guy keep saying tetra METHYL lead? Why does he think the universe is only 5 billion years old?? What is the "Academy of the USA"?????

wym? we have jews

QEII’s children destroyed the Church of England with their divorces and affairs.England will be Catholic again in the next 30 years. The entire world is waking up to the truth of Gods one true church.

Yes why are humans different. We are different even sharing the basic DNA.

In spite of the fact we have "unexplored" area on the globe, it safe to say humans have been all over the globe more than once. We have no idea how often large groups of people poured into the Americas but the Eurasians and African continents have been invaded multiple times that we know and the invasions continue, people keep moving.

Years later, life goes on. I dont see significant changes that everyone feared or hoped for from remain and pro brexit crowd. Covid policies and its inflationary aftereffects has had much more impact on society.

The ending, especially the quote from Takashi Nagai, was so horribly sad and beautiful. It makes sense to cry about ww 2 sometimes

This man is conspicuously hiding inconvenient facts avoiding controversy. All early varieties of man had strong inequality between men and women and relative equality between the sexes is a modern achievement. Genetic research showed that all late Neanderthals in Europe had modern-human mitochondrial DNA, betraying the fact that Neanderthals habitually kept modern women in captivity and forced them to breed mixed offspring. Furthermore it is important for medical reasons to recognize racial differences between people because the health risks people have, vary a lot according to race.

This guy confuses "a step down" with a minor third, yet, apparently talking music.

Although of a different generation, Shirley Bassey is the vocal equivelent of Buddy Rich.

Bassey! Bam! Brilliant!
